Stimulation mode Choose from two different speeds—Slow mode (MODE 1) or Moderate mode (MODE 2). Expression mode 1 You can set the appropriate suction pressure (7 power levels) and speed (4 speeds) for expressing. Center the flange over your papilla and press it against your breast. Seal it securely so that no air can escape. You can create a good seal by using your other hand to support your breast from underneath. * If your nipples are large and they touch the cover, we recommend using the large flange. 2 To turn the power on, press . “Stimulation mode” starts automatically and timer also starts to track the usage time when you turn the power on. * You will hear a clicking sound when the pump is in operation.

Expressing for an excessively long time may cause nipple pain. Aim to express from each nipple for approximately 10 minutes. The amount of expressing varies depending on the nipple conditions of each mother. See your condition and express accordingly. 5 When you finish expressing, press to turn off the power. When you are certain that suction has stopped, gently remove the flange from your breast. 9 About the breast pump This breast pump is for expressing breastmilk when you want to store it and feed it to your baby later, or if you have problems with your nipples and are unable to breastfeed your baby directly. Correct use of this pump will allow you to enjoy feeding breastmilk to your baby. Every mother expresses breastmilk differently. We recommend that you experiment to find the settings that are most comfortable for you. Breastmilk facts Breastmilk originates from a mother’s blood. Breastmilk is made from the mother's blood. It may seem hard to believe that red blood can turn into white breastmilk. How does this happen? Breastmilk does not contain any of the red blood cells that make blood red. The cells that produce breastmilk are surrounded by a great number of blood capillaries. When the blood capillaries come into contact with the cells, the nutrients from the blood pass into the cells, and breastmilk is formed. Breastmilk is a very important gift from a mother to a baby. Try to maintain a regular lifestyle so that you can provide your baby with the best possible breastmilk. What causes breastmilk secretion? Breastmilk is ejected as a result of prolactin activity. Prolactin is a lactogenic hormone that is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. Prolactin activity is suppressed by the large quantities of estrogen and luteal hormone that are secreted from the placenta during pregnancy. When the placenta is discharged following birth, suppression ends, breastmilk is produced, and secretion is promoted. In addition, sucking by a baby (peristaltic movement) stimulates the breast, releasing the hormone oxytocin, and causing breastmilk to be secreted (breastmilk ejection). The more frequently your baby sucks, the easier it is for breastmilk to be ejected. How to store expressed breastmilk Your breastmilk is full of nutrition. To keep it fresh for future use, insert a sealing disk into the cap, screw the cap tightly onto the nursing bottle, and store the bottle in the refrigerator. • Do not microwave braestmilk as much of the nutritive value will be lost. • Do not leave braestmilk sitting at room temperature. • Do not refreeze breastmilk that has been defrosted. • Do not combine fresh breastmilk with stored one. 10 Freezer Refrigerator Fresh breastmilk 3 weeks 24 hours Thawed breastmilk Do not refreeze 24 hours How to take care of the pump Caution • Always disassemble the parts before washing and sterilizing. • Do not wash or sterilize the motor, tube connector, or AC adapter. Motor • Do not wipe the motor with a wet towel or wash with water. • If it is dirty, apply detergent to a cloth and wipe clean. Other parts • Wash and sterilize the pump before using it for the first time. • Soak the pump in lukewarm water and wash them by using a detergent such as “Pigeon Liquid Cleanser” after use. Please make sure to rinse thoroughly after washing. • Sterilize the parts after washing. • Be careful not to lose small parts when washing the pump parts. • Use a soft sponge brush for washing. • Do not handle silicone rubber parts roughly. Doing so will cause tears or scratches. • Do not clean with a scourer, polishing powder, or hard brush. Doing so will scratch the surface. Caring for the included nipple • To protect the ventilation valve, a white powdered food additive has been applied. Before using for the first time, wash thoroughly. • Use both hands to clean the ventilation valve, vent, and nipple hole by rubbing gently. If you scrub or pull on it too hard, the valve may split, and it causes leaks. • The tip of the nipple is extremely delicate. Push the tip of the nipple with your finger when washing with a cleaning brush. Nipple hole Vent Ventilation valve [Boiling sterilization] • Place thoroughly washed parts in a large pot filled with water. Bring to a boil. Sterilization time is 5 minutes after the water comes to a boil. • If there is not enough water, parts may stick to the side of the pot and become deformed. • Do not boil excessively. Doing so can quickly damage the product. [Steam sterilization] • Use a sterilizer designed specifically for nursing bottles and nipples. Please read and follow the instructions that come with the product. [Chemical sterilization] • Use a disinfectant designed specifically for nursing bottles and nipples. Please read and follow the instructions that come with the disinfectant. • The color of printing on the bottle may fade in case of chemical sterilization.

Note: If your baby becomes comfortable with one certain nipple, he or she may object new ones. So rotate 2 or more nipples and replace them about every 2 months. If the nipples become worn out, replace them without regard to how many times they have been used. For your child’s safety and health • Always use this product with adult supervision. • Never use nipples as a soother. • Continuous and prolonged sucking of fluids will cause tooth decay. • Always check food temperature before feeding. • Keep all components not in use out of the reach of children. • Inspect before each use and pull the nipple in all directions. The nipples may be worn by biting. Special attention is needed for teething child. Throw away at the first signs of damage or weakness. • Clean before each use. • Do not leave a nipple in direct sunlight or heat, or leave in disinfectant (“sterilizing solution”) for longer than recommended, as this may weaken the nipple. • When not in use, keep in a dry, covered container. Warning Follow the warnings below carefully. Not doing so can cause burns. • The bottle may become hot when preparing formula. Be careful not to burn yourself. • Do not prepare formula near your baby, as there is a danger of burns. • Be sure to check the temperature of the milk or other fluid before feeding. • The bottle may be hot after boiling or microwave sterilization. Be careful not to burn yourself. • When preparing formula, if you shake the upright bottle, hot liquid may gush out, causing burns. Handle the bottle carefully. • Do not attach the hood and shake the bottle. If the hood is attached, the high temperatures may cause the pressure inside the bottle to rise, leading to leaks or spouting of the hot liquid. • Nursing bottles are for feeding your baby milk or other drink. Do not use them for any other purpose. • The scale on the nursing bottle can be used as a guide when preparing formula. If you need to be more precise, use a measuring cup or measuring spoon. Formula See the milk powder package for details on how to prepare formula. Feeding Feed your baby the formula after cooling it to approximately body temperature. • Only a caregiver should feed the baby. • If you tighten the cap too hard, the nipple may collapse. • Consume the formula immediately once prepared.
